Holy Places

Abstract The culmination of long-term development of the traditional pilgrimage genre in Russian literature falls on the eighteenth century. Reports of Russian pilgrims to the Christian Holy Places of the Middle East produced during this period, not only precede the nineteenth century the Golden age of travel literature in Russia, but also retain their great historical and cultural significance and still remain a subject of research for scholars dwelling on the Arab-Ottoman history. The authors attention is focused on 12 pilgrims accounts written by Ivan Lukjanov (dates of travel: 17011703), Makariy and Seliverst (17041707), Andrey Ignatiev (17071708), Ippolit Vishenskiy (17071709), Varlaam (17121714), Matvey Nechaev (17211722), Sylvester and Nicodim (1722), Vasiliy Grigorowich-Barskiy (17231747), Serapion (17491751), Ignatiy Denshin (17661776), Leontiy (17631765) and Meletiy (17931794). The research focus of the article is on the personalities of the pilgrimagewriters, their biographical data and social background as well as the fates of their writings after their completion. Some of the pilgrims accounts received due credit long after they had been produced, others gained great popularity at the time of writing and some of them were almost forgotten and mostly neglected by scholars of the following generations. The article also deals with the religious affiliation of the pilgrimage-writers, which predetermined their perception of the Arab-Ottoman world through the prism of Russian Orthodoxy and the values preached by this particular brand of Christianity.Аннотация В XVIII в. традиционный паломнический жанр в русской словесности достиг подлинного расцвета и подошел к своему логическому завершению. Паломнические описания Святой Земли, составленные в XVIII в., не только предваряют XIX столетие золотой век путешествий в русской литературе, но и сохраняют свою самостоятельную историко-культурную значимость, а их содержательная сторона продолжает оставаться объектом исследований ученых, в том числе арабистов и османистов. Внимание автора сосредоточено на 12 паломнических описаниях, авторство которых принадлежит Ивану Лукьянову (даты путешествия: 17011703 гг.), Макарию и Селиверсту (17041707 гг.), Андрею Игнатьеву (17071708 гг.), Ипполиту Вишенскому (17071709 гг.), Варлааму (17121714 гг.), Матвею Нечаеву (17211722 гг.), Сильвестру и Никодиму (1722 г.), Василию Григоровичу-Барскому (17231747 гг.), Серапиону (17491751 гг.), Игнатию Деншину (17661776 гг.), Леонтию (17631765 гг.) и Мелетию (17931794 гг.). В исследовательском фокусе статьи находятся личности паломников и дошедшие до нас сведения об их биографиях, их социальное происхождение, а также последующая судьба их произведений. Одни письменные свидетельства богомольцев о хождениях к святым местам Ближнего Востока завоевали признание современников, другие были по достоинству оценены значительно позднее, а некоторые практически выпали из поля зрения последующих поколений исследователей. В статье также отдельно рассмотрена конфессиональная принадлежность паломников-писателей, которая предопределила их восприятие арабо-османского мира сквозь призму Русского Православия.

Dura-Europos, a Parthian-ruled Greco-Syrian city, was captured by Rome c.AD165. It then accommodated a Roman garrison until its destruction by Sasanian siege c.AD256. Excavations of the site between the World Wars made sensational discoveries, and with renewed exploration from 1986 to 2011, Dura remains the best-explored city of the Roman East. A critical revelation was a sprawling Roman military base occupying a quarter of the city's interior. This included swathes of civilian housing converted to soldiers' accommodation and several existing sanctuaries, as well as baths, an amphitheatre, headquarters, and more temples added by the garrison. Base and garrison were clearly fundamental factors in the history of Roman Dura, but what impact did they have on the civil population? Original excavators gloomily portrayed Durenes evicted from their homes and holy places, and subjected to extortion and impoverishment by brutal soldiers, while recent commentators have envisaged military-civilian concordia, with shared prosperity and integration. Detailed examination of the evidence presents a new picture. Through the use of GPS, satellite, geophysical and archival evidence, this volume shows that the Roman military base and resident community were even bigger than previously understood, with both military and civil communities appearing much more internally complex than has been allowed until now. The result is a fascinating social dynamic which we can partly reconstruct, giving us a nuanced picture of life in a city near the eastern frontier of the Roman world.

Archaeological involvement in the holy places of Jerusalem has become a focus of professional and public concern during recent years. The two sacred areas of the Temple Mount and the Holy Sepulchre combine their role as historical and architectural monuments of supreme importance with their daily use as central religious sites. The connection between scholars, mainly archaeologists and architects, who studied these monuments, and the local religious authorities in charge of the holy sites has accompanied research on Jerusalem since the mid-nineteenth century. The main issues to be analyzed in this paper are related to the ways archaeologists and other scholars are involved with the major holy sites of Jerusalem: how the 'owners' of the Temple Mount and the Holy Sepulchre viewed these scholars and their research; to what degree they were prepared to cooperate with them; what their motives were for doing so and how archaeologists and other researchers operated and adhered to scholarly interests in such complex sites. The Jerusalem case study is used to investigate the larger scope of interrelations between the academic world and the religious 'owners' of holy sites in other locations.

В XVIII в. на основании общего интереса к святыням Востока, а также единой тенденции для крупных монастырей изготавливать гравюры на память для паломников, многие греческие гравюры свидетели русско-афонских отношений попадают на территорию Российской Империи. Сохранились такие гравюры и в Церковноархеологического кабинете Московской духовной академии, собрание которых насчитывает 29 эстампов. Пять гравюр из этого собрания имеют надписи на греческом и на славянском языке. Надписи свидетельствуют о месте и времени создания гравюры, о граверах и заказчиках, являются источниками кратких исторических сведений. В статье приведены выявленные дополнительные факты об этих гравюрах, которые свидетельствуют о наличии церковных, экономических и политических отношений на базе культурных связей между Российской Империей и странами православного Востока. The Russ has always been supporting the relationship with the Orthodox Church of the East. As a result of these connections, we have a lot of icons and other gifts from The Mount Athos, The Saint Catherine’s Monastery and others holy places. There are five Greek engravings in the collection of The Museum of Church Archaeology at the Moscow Theological Academy, which have inscriptions in Greek and Slavic. These engravings were to be spread in Slavic countries. They are dated from the 17th to the 19th century. Some of them were made in Moscow. The images and the inscriptions of the engravings are the subject of a research presented in this article.

“Scores of books are being written embellishing them with pictures and maps of the holy places mentioned in the Holy Qur’ān; these are not mere ornamentation, rather they augment understanding with their visual effects. Modern writers with geographical propensity have drawn maps to highlight individual and tribal geography described in the Holy Qur’ān, for instance, separate maps are drawn to depict the Prophets’ journeys to to preach their true faith. For instance, the Messenger’s migration to Madina, and Prophet Mūsā’s journeys. Several maps for all the Holy Campaigns (Ghazawāt), individual and collective maps of Ḥajj places and 5 stations (mīqāt) have been drawn, highlighting geography of routes. The present study aims at introducing, describing, and evaluating books, highlighting the different dimensions of geography employed in Islamic basic source, the Holy Qur’ān.”

Holy Places

The churches of the Holy Land play a very special part in the lengthy controversies as to the origin and formation of the Christian basilica, since particular significance is attributed to them as constituting a norm from which the basilica type developed. For example, Wulff remarks :l ' If any region anywhere played a leading part in the development of the early Christian basilica, it is Palestine, including the whole coast of Syria to Philistia, where, under Constantine the Great, building was already developed with the express purpose of fostering the cult in the holy places '. This view, illuminating in and for itself, is today generally accepted ; it cannot, however, be maintained against the result of recent excavations. In this article chief emphasis is laid on the churches of Constantine, which are of especial importance not only because of their age, but in particular because they stand on the most sacred places of Christendom.
